Playa del Inglés surf guide

Playa del Inglés is a popular summer surf spot located on the Canary Island of Gran Canaria. Known for its bustling atmosphere, this beach attracts both tourists and surfers alike. The area is surrounded by hotels and apartments, giving it a very touristy vibe. That's something to keep in mind if you’re looking for a quiet surf session. You can find this spot just five minutes to the right of the lighthouse, where the surf conditions are generally consistent.

The best time to surf at Playa del Inglés is during summertime when the swells are rolling in from the east. This beach works well with swells around 3 feet (approximately 1 meter) and can handle east and southeast swell directions. You can catch both left and right waves, which makes it a decent choice for surfers of all levels, particularly beginners. Onshore winds from the northeast can make the waves a bit choppy, so keep an eye on the wind conditions. The waves here can be fun when the conditions line up well, especially around low to mid to high tides.

Be prepared for a crowd, as this spot can get quite busy when the good swells arrive. The mix of surfers and beachgoers means you’ll often be sharing the waves with a lot of other people, especially during peak times. Overall, Playa del Inglés provides a serviceable wave with its beach breaks, suitable for anyone looking to enjoy the water.

Wind certainty

Wind certainty tells you how much the weather models agree on the forecast.

  • High certainty: Models agree closely; forecast is reliable.
  • Medium certainty: Some disagreement; conditions may shift slightly.
  • Low certainty: Models diverge; treat forecast with caution.

We calculate this by comparing wind speed, gust and direction from multiple models (like GFS, ECMWF, Arome, and Harmonie) and seeing how closely they match. They are weighted, meaning that some models count more than others, depending on how good they are for a certain spot.

Forecast Cheat Sheet

Short on time? Focus on wave energy. It’s the best single metric to gauge how big and powerful the waves will be.

Click any table cell to jump to that forecast hour. The map will update with forecast arrows, so you can see if wind and swell direction are lining up.

Use the table sidebar to switch units for height and speed.

Log your surf sessions to compare forecasts with real sessions and sharpen future predictions.

On the map, click a metric label to bring that arrow to the front — handy when arrows overlap.

Models and Updates

Surfnerd blends multiple global and local wind and swell models using advanced interpolation and spatial techniques to create an "ensemble" forecast. Forecasts are refreshed hourly.

Surf Predictions

Our AI-driven algorithm scores surf quality, shown by green, orange, and gray dots. Each forecast hour is rated for wind, swell, and tide quality, then combined into an overall score. Here’s the scale:

Perfect
Good
Average
Bad or No Data

Session logs also feed the algorithm — the more you log, the smarter your forecasts get.

With Surfnerd, no more "you should have been here yesterday"
